How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 563 — Full Solution
- Dispatch cyan 36 and pale-cyan 35 as the first two stacks enter the blank row.
- Clear cyan 26, pale-cyan 25, cyan 34, and pale-pink 34 next while preserving the fifth position.
- Continue through cyan 20, black 24, maroon 19, black 33, then cyan 13, maroon 11, brown 10, and black 27 as the dark campfire opens.
- Route black 7/2 and brown 20, followed by cream 33 and yellow 7/6/3 for the ground and flames.
- The fan remains at 8 until late; its counter drops to 1 beside front values cream 6, black 6, cyan 2, and yellow 14, then the tile disappears.
- Finish cyan 39, yellow 6, brown 3, black 24, then cyan 23/27 and the late brown 16/cream 16 before the last cyan 1 clears.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using all three blank positions on dark stacks blocks the continuing cyan reveal chain.
- Treating the fan tile as decorative leaves its released cubes unavailable for the clear.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 563 (quick clues)
- Use cyan 36 and pale-cyan 35, then 26/25/34/34 before committing a dark stack.
- Keep at least one of the three opening blanks available until the fan counter moves.
- Save the pale-pink patch for the final ground cleanup.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Cyan sky and clouds surround a brown, maroon, and black campfire silhouette above yellow/orange fire and cream ground. A brown fan tile marked 8 is fixed on the right. All five front slots begin blank; the first arrivals are cyan 36 and pale-cyan 35. The reserve begins cyan 40, yellow 5, cream 35, and cyan 40.
- Goal
- Remove the cyan sky, reduce and open the eight-count fan tile, then route the dark campfire, yellow fire, cream ground, and pale-pink bottom-right patch.
- Opening
- Dispatch cyan 36 and pale-cyan 35, then cyan 26, pale-cyan 25, cyan 34, and pale-pink 34 while keeping the fifth position free.
- Danger Zone
- The fan remains locked at 8 through most of the cyan phase. Filling every blank with brown or black stacks stops the cyan reveals that eventually reduce the lock.
- Mechanics
- Eight-count side fan lock, three opening blanks, long cyan first phase, and a layered campfire scene with a late pale-pink patch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 8 on the fan tile mean?
It is a counter that must be reduced by the preceding routing sequence before the fan releases its hidden stack.
Why keep a front position empty?
The cyan sky repeatedly reveals new values; without a blank position, the next required cyan stack cannot enter the usable row.
